Is there a way to do IPFW on a MAC Address level?  What I am wanting is to
only allow certain NIC's to pass packets to the Internet, as long as those
specific NICs have a certain IP address.

Reasoning:  I have a wireless LAN I am providing internet over to
customers.  Like all wireless lans, it is layer 2.  So, I can see the MAC
address on the customer's end.  But, I don't want the customer to be able
to just grab any IP address they can get their hands on. I want to assign
them 1 IP address, and have it so that if they use any other IP address
other than that one, they won't be able to pass any packets on my network.

Is this possible?
